EdilKamin FLEXA Installation, Usage Et Maintenance page 23

Before igniting.
You must consult the Edilkamin DEALER in your area when
igniting the stove for the first time, in order for the stove to be
calibrated according to the type of pellets and installation condi-
tions, thereby validating the warranty.
There may be a slight smell of paint the first few times it is
ignited, however, this will disappear quickly.
Before igniting you must check:
==> that installation is correct
==> the power supply
==> that the door closes properly to a perfect seal
==> that the combustion chamber is clean
==> that the display is on standby
(time and temperature)
External door regulation
Remove the bayonet-fixed upper grille and adjust
the alignment of the external door with the ceramic or alumi-
nium sides, using the screws V (fig. 1).
Filling the pellet hopper
To access the hopper, lift up the cast iron top (fig. 2).
ATTENTION:
use the glove supplied when filling the stove
whilst it is running and therefore is hot.
NOTE regarding the fuel.
FLEXA is designed and programmed to burn wood pellets
with 6 mm diameter. Pellets are a type of fuel in the form of
little cylinders, made from compacted sawdust, compressed
under high pressure with no adhesives or foreign materials.
They are sold in bags of 15 kg.
For the stove to function properly, you MUST NOT burn
anything else in it. Using other materials (including wood)
will render the warranty null and void. Such use is detected
by laboratory analyses.
Edilkamin has designed, tested and programmed their stoves
to guarantee the best performance when pellets with the fol-
lowing characteristics are used:
diameter: 6 millimetres
maximum length: 40 mm
maximum moisture content: 8%
calorific value: at least 4300

If pellets with different characteristics are used, the stoves must
be recalibrated – a similar procedure to that carried out by the
DEALER when the stove is ignited the first time.
Using unsuitable pellets may: decrease efficiency; cause mal-
functions; stop the stove from functioning due to clogging, dirt
on the glass, unburnt fuel, etc.
A simple, visual analysis of the pellets may be carried out:
Good quality: smooth, uniform length, not very dusty.
Poor quality: with longitudinal and transverse cracks, very
dusty, various lengths and mixed with foreign matter.
